Bryukhovetsky about this told Platfor.ma he also answered a question about a phenomenon that supposedly breaks the essence of Russian propaganda regarding the protection of the Russian language - about Russian-speaking Ukrainian patriots.
“When people came to my academy and said that they had worked as teachers all their lives and wanted to go to the academy, but could not teach in Ukrainian. My answer was this: if you are not able to learn Ukrainian, then your IQ is very low, and I cannot allow you to teach. Some left, and others suddenly understood. But there is a very subtle nuance here: everything seems to be said in words, but in reality it is not at all true. The big problem is that they preach one thing from the podium, but when they come home they preach something else,” says the honorary president of Mogilyanka.
In addition, Boyukhovetsky admitted to the publication’s correspondent that he violated the civil rights of applicants and practiced unethical and humiliating “patriotism tests.”
“I even had, to some extent, a not entirely ethical way of checking people. A man comes to work with me and starts beating his chest because he knows that Bryukhovetsky is a patriot. Then I said: okay, we’ll think about it, give me your home phone number and I’ll call you. And when this man left, I called my home phone. Mostly children answered. And if they spoke to me in Russian, then I never hired this person, because it simply adapts to the situation.” – Bryukhovetsky confesses.
